The sim known as Starbase 400 is one of the first and one of the oldest continuously active Star Trek sims on the internet. The sim began life as the USS Pegasus in October 1995 in the now defunct ‘Seventh Fleet’ sim group. The sim spent time in Tango Fleet (as the Fleet Flagship), Bravo Fleet (as the Fleet Flagship), Independent, then joining Antares Fleet, The Ninth Fleet, before going Independent again, and then finally rejoining Bravo Fleet in 2015. The sim as a long and proud history, and is recognized across the Star Trek Internet Community. Starbase 400 is the winner of the 2012 and 2014 Simming Prize presented by the Prize Trustees (formerly the Simming League). The sim’s CO/GM Mike Bremer was also awarded the 2011 Simming Prize. Many of the sim’s members have gone on to command their own sims or even Fleet level positions in groups like Tango Fleet, Bravo Fleet, Obsidian Fleet, Ninth Fleet, and others. Many of the sim’s current members are those very same people, giving Starbase 400 a unique level of experienced unmatched by most sims.
